Chanel Illusion D'Ombre Eyeshadow in Emerveille

Am I allowed to have a change of heart? I have to say I was not keen on
the Illusion d'ombre long wear luminous eyeshadows when we first met,
however Convoitise changed my mind so I picked up Emerveille (£24).

Its a pretty shimmery peach, too much can look a tad frosty so I tend to apply
just one wash as below.

The colour is easily built up if desired (below is with two layers).
This shade works nicely for a wash of colour or just added on top of a
powder shadow to add that touch of brightening shimmer.

Swatched below with Convoitise

The formula blends well and works with powder shadows, without any
balling up. To get a days wear I need a primer, though to be fair I do
find myself using a primer on a daily basis these days, just gives that
bit more of insurance.

Ingredients:

Overall I'm very happy with this, its not often I'll do a U turn on a
product but you can count this as one.

Wow! This is exactly the product I wished you would review! i've had my eye (haha) on this for a while but only ever seen swatches on darker skintones, making it hard to decide if it would suit me. Now I am convinced this will be a lovely addition to my eyeshadow stash! Thank you!!!
